Earnhardt Jr. starts big wreck at Daytona test

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. started a 12-car accident at Daytona International Speedway that essentially shut down a three-day test session.

NASCAR’s most popular driver tapped Marcus Ambrose as they drove across the back straightaway, lifting him “like a forklift” and turning him into the wall. Ambrose’s car bounced back across the track and collected a host of others.
